AHT Insurance Introduces Specialty Captive Insurance Program Offering

Brokerage and consulting firm AHT Insurance has added specialty captive insurance programs to provide solutions for companies' insurance needs.

In a statement, AHT described specialty captives as private insurance solutions designed to provide customizable coverage options for unique or difficult exposures business owners face. "This type of captive can provide competitive and affordable alternatives to the commercial insurance market," the AHT statement said.

AHT now offers consulting and formation of single-parent captives, segregated cell captives, risk retention groups, and micro-captives for clients for whom the captive insurance approach is appropriate. The firm has partnered with Oxford Risk Management Group to assist clients best positioned to enter into a group captive structure.

Mark Tabler, global captive practice leader at AHT, will help guide clients through the decision of whether to participate in a captive insurance program. Mr. Tabler has 22 years' experience directing insurance operations, captive insurance company formations, and captive operations; developing risk management strategies; overseeing third-party claims administration; and directing board governance initiatives.

"AHT's engagement with Mark provides a substantial addition to our capabilities to deliver valuable alternatives to many of our clients' more traditional risk transfer solutions," David Schaefer, AHT president and CEO, said in the statement. "I am excited we can now provide a deeper level of consultation and design expertise in house for these vehicles."

"I look forward to assisting AHT with their new captive initiatives and providing those solutions that best suit the needs of their clients," Mr. Tabler said in the statement. "As we move into 2021 and 2022, the uncertainty of the commercial market lends many opportunities for us to provide clients with an alternative solution for their insurance needs."
